The northeast coast of Africa, home to Obama’s tribal Luo ancestors, was actively involved in slave use and slave trade at least until 1910.

Most northeast African slave traders were Muslim or Muslim converts.

Obama’s grandfather has been described as a “wealthy African landowner” in two sources I’ve read. To me, that means his business almost certainly required a large group of manual laborers to work the land.

I would love to know if Obama’s African family was involved in any way in the use or sale of slaves.

Perhaps someone here can clarify -- or verify -- what a Sean Hannity caller claimed today about Obama. Obama has a book, Dreams of (or from) My Father. Suposedly, on page 80, Obama says that the only way whites can make up for the wrongs they've done the blacks, is to all become one brethern under Islam.

That's not the exact wording, but I think I got the gist of it. Anyone else catch this?
